2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream

In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
Stir in sour cream and chilies. Do not bring to boil, you don't want curdled sour cream.
Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
Bake 22 min and then under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.

*side note - the sauce doesn't freeze very well, so if you're making them ahead of time. Just make and freeze the Enchiladas. Make the sauce the day of.

Freezing yogurt

http://onceamonthmeals.com/freezing-yogurt/

  1. Fill a clean ice cube tray with yogurt.
  2. Freeze until solid.
  3. Pop the yogurt cubes out of the tray, and place in a freezer bag, and return to the freezer.
  4. When you are ready to make a smoothie, muffins, or just want a small portion of yogurt, easily grab a cube or two from the freezer. It may depend on the size of your ice cube tray, but in my approximation, one cube equals about 2 TBSP of yogurt.
